Ingla had earlier expressed his sympathy to Lille supporters on the official club website.

"The Amiens President's words seem irresponsible and insensitive given the nature of this dramatic situation". "We hope this is not too serious". Our supporters are impeccable and professional football needs to be better organised.

Amiens later released a statement saying Joanni and some of the region's main politicians went to the Centre Hospitalier d'Amiens, where the fans were being treated.

An update from Lille's official Twitter account on Sunday said: "Six people are still hospitalised this Sunday morning, but the news is reassuring".
